At a practice last fall, Dave Schrage saw Garrett Christman whip the ball across the infield with great velocity. The first-year Butler baseball coach only had one question for his junior third baseman.
“Have you ever pitched before?”
Schrage said he had a really nice loose arm, and the ball jumped out of his hand. Christman took the mound immediately after practice and didn’t disappoint.
“The bullpen went really well, my velocity was higher than I expected and I threw strikes,” the senior said.
